Mari333's Been Busy

[Hogarth]

In the past couple days she's been interviewed on KIRO in Seattle, she's been assured that her comments will be printed in The Nation in early April, and I was able to brag to my son in Baghdad today that she's doing all she can to support the troops and oppose the war.

Why, as her husband, would I not be in love with her?

1. Woot

Give it up for family love

[soleft]

2. Major kudos to you both!

[zbird]

3. You're a lucky man.

Mari's an inspiration to us all. Keep up the good fight, both of you.

Here's to getting your son home safe and sound and SOON!

[Dhalgren]

4. A lucky man, to be sure!

Take good care of her - our country needs her and like-minded citizens more now than ever. Go Mari!

[Jane Austin]

5. All Right!

Congratulations to you both.

[Ilsa]

6. I knew she was out for awhile...

to fight the GOOD fight. Looking forward to her safe return home. Loud songs of praise to Mari333 for her courage and conviction!

8. Mari is incredible. 100%

I carry her stepson's batallion address with me. (so I guess that is your son!) I will be sending them a care package, after the first week of April with some goodies from Brazil. I am going there(Brazil) on the 1st April for 3 days. I think about you guys......

10. Thanks, Mr. Mari.

I was getting worried because I hadn't seen any posts from her lately.

There are lots of people praying for your son's safety. Best wishes!!

[Hogarth]

15. That's kind ....

Michael's been in Iraq for months now, and the packages I send seem to be delayed for just as long. He got his first one yesterday, and it was sent just after Christmas.

He's being housed in a cell at the al Ghraib prison just outside of Baghdad. (Why do I pronounce that in my mind as "the grave"?)

Man, I can't help but be disgusted by the state of the union when I watch the news. Bush struts, people scramble at department store openings, and we're all expected to view it all as positive.

But now I'm just ranting. I only meant to thank you for your kind remarks.

Best to you

19. WHY IS HE IN

A PRISON CELL????????

[Hogarth]

24. He's an MP ...

... and lives at the prison, I guess. I'm not certain, but I suppose he takes what he gets. It's odd. In his latest e-mail he explained that he was refurbishing the cell with some kind of carpententry skills--making it his own.

He's always careful to make certain that I won't worry about him by his remarks, but naturally I do. I guess he's just doing his best to adapt and spare me grief.

11. Man, what a Wife!

You are lucky to have such a brave wife. My thoughts are with your son in Iraq.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. You have the second best wife in the world. (nt)

[Hogarth]

17. Nosir

I have the very best wife in the world. She's an angel, and I'm a lucky bastard.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

18. OK, let's call it a tie then. (nt)

[calimary]

29. Good on you, guys. I hope you ALWAYS talk that way about your women.

Especially you, Hogarth. She's fighting a VERY noble fight. We are with you.

[latebloomer]

13. She's an incredible person

and a force to be reckoned with!

I didn't know you were part of our community-- Welcome!

Light and protection to your entire family-

lb

[CatWoman]

14. LOL, Hogarth

Mari is da bomb!!

We ALL love her

[YIMA]

16. Great

I don't know who she is but she sounds great

[myrna minx]

20. Wonderful news.

Mari is the absolute best.

[Nlighten1]

21. Beautiful.

Keep up the good work Mari!

[diamond14]

22. Hogarth.....you're the BEST !!!! will we see you on Saturday at the

Pro-Peace rallies?

I'll be in New York....born in Michigan, living in Virginia, proudly carrying the banner for the people of Wyoming....

we need to boot bush* OUT of our White House....

these creeps are dangerous to OUR Democracy.....

25. Would that we could ...

... afford it. God, we have stories to tell about our past protests, including a lady (and I use the term loosely) who flagged down our cab as we were on our way to protest the innauguration. She didn't have a ride, then flagged the cabbie down. Once she jumped in the back of our ride, she gave Mari a hard time on how she was dressed. She may have been from Tennessee.

I think she should have paid the full fare, plus ours. We handn't arranged to pick her up, but the cabbie decided to pull over and pick her up, anyway. She was very rude.

It's a hard cameo to sum up.

Oh, Jesus Christ! (I digress out of frustration.) Bush is on tee-vee live, I can't maintain a cogent train of thought while he's speaking and while troops are cheering him with the "hooah."

I'm going to bed.

[diamond14]

28. feel your pain...my nephew is serving in Iraq, and my brother's wife

is also there....it's time to shut down bush*'s follies....send the war-profiteers to the Haig....

Go Kerry....beat bush*

23. Oh Oh now you are posting here she can't say all those things anymore

Welcome to DU ~ belatedly I guess.

[Hogarth]

26. I support everything Mari says ...

... because she has a mind of her own. (Sorry, I'm writing as Bush speaks, and I won't bow to a Big Brother.)

Oh, God ... he just said the troops have made him proud to be their commander-in-chief. I intend to throw up.

After I clean that mess up I'll just take a therapeutic nap. Life is short.

[SoCalDem]

27. C-span read some comments from her a few days back

in the segment where they read the papers.. Marianne from Michigan.. I figured it had to be her.. I meant to post about it and then forgot.. I think it was from the Saturday show..Washington journal

[Hogarth]

30. Woo-hoo! She's back.

She's expecting calls from the Seattle Times and the BBC at noon. In the meantime I brag to Michael (in Baghdad) and my family about what she's doing. I am indeed a lucky bastard.

[Cooley Hurd]

31. Give Mari my regards!

And here's to you both to getting your son home, safe and sound!

Really glad to hear she getting the word out!!!
